Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Hi, ranger is great, but it would be pefect if I could fix a certain issue:there needs to be a tiny delay before the preview kicks in, so that your browsing doesn't lag when you are swinging up and down the tree.

Also I'm trying to customize the colorscheme now, but I dunno if I can make it accept color codes rather than just plain "red", "blue"...

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Just found out about image previews, but sucks that it doesn't work in tmux. Is this a bug on tmux's side? Don't really want to be using screen.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

hi, I'm a new to Ranger. It's fantasy.

I have some problem now.when I use command ':open_with t blah...', and I want open a new terminal.I've set TERMCMD=xfce4-terminal. But It failed silently. So I digged into the code, I found the default option of terminal execution is '-e'. But when use xfce4-terminal, the '-x' option is the expected one.I don't want change the code, so I ask if there is any way to customize this?

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

The wiki about ranger says that ranger supports transmission-show for viewing bit-torrent infomation. But there is no transmission-show in office-repository, I only find three packages which call transmission-cli, transmission-gtk and transmission-qt. Is transmission-cli it?

Hi hut !

I tried ranger-git, image shows up for a second then comes back again in that strange state !

Do you know why it doesn't work with some terminals at all ? (xfce, gnome)

Thanks !

Because it's a crazy, evil hack and it makes a lot of assumptions, which not every terminal can fulfil. Still better than nothing, imo. If you want to learn more about it, talk to the developers of w3m who made it.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

As of today, I have an issue on one of my machines. When I run ranger as a normal user, the contents of my current directory are pinned to the leftmost pane, and no keystrokes work at all, except ctrl-z (which dumps me out of ranger). The middle and right panes are empty. If I run ranger as root, it behaves normally. If I become root, then I can issue

sudo -u <normaluser> ranger

and ranger runs normally. I thought something was messed up in my config but I created a test user and see the same behavior. Running ranger with -d doesn't seem to produce anything. How can I debug this problem?

Has anything happened? Have you updated, say?

You could also try the "--clean" flag for that.

I'd start by reinstalling, always running with "--clean" and "--debug" as you go along. I might also try a second terminal just in case.

Re: Ranger, a textbased filemanager

Thanks @Veedrac and @GermainZ. I tried several flavors of ranger and the issue persisted. Running with --clean didn't help. I uninstalled python3 and everything that depends on it, deleted ~/.config/ranger, reinstalled python3 along with ranger, and the problem persisted. I also ran the ranger.py script directly with

python -v ranger.py

for both the successful user (root) and me, and attempted to figure out what went wrong by capturing and comparing the traces. They were mostly the same but not entirely and if I knew python better I might be able to diagnose based on that.

I finally moved my whole /home/user directory off to another directory, logged in as myself with a new, empty /home/user directory, and ranger worked fine. I started adding back my .bashrc, .bash_profile, .inputrc, etc, expecting something to break but it's still fine. I don't know what happened but there is a lot of stale crap in my old user directory. If I figure out what specifically caused ranger to choke I'll report back. Ranger is awesome!
